Where to begin
If you’ve already started searching for your first vibrator, congratulate yourself! That is a big first step.
There’s no one right way to use or own a vibrator, but some common uses include:
- Achieving better, more, and/or quiker orgasms while masturbating.
- Having better partnered sex.
- Stimulate lots of different erogenous zones both during partnered and solo play.
- Explore sexual pleasures in a safe space on your own terms.
- Introduce a bit of playfulness and experimentation into your sex life.
I’ve never owned a vibrator, how do I know what I like?
A nice next step is to envision yourself receiving or giving yourself pleasure. What physical position is your body in? Are you reclined by yourself/beneath a partner or are you prone/on top of a partner? Another way to think about this is, if you’ve masturbated before, what positions do you most prefer?
Now that you’re familiar with where your body is and what kinds of positions you enjoy, think about or explore what kinds of touches feel good to you. Some people enjoy more intense stimulation than others and some people prefer internal to external stimulation and vice versa. What do you like? Remember, this purchase is for *you*, so there’s no need to worry about what is “normal” or sexy for other people–this is just about you and your relationship with your body.
